While shopping for suits, a man from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, found a beige jacket he liked, but what was in its pocket has left internet users in hysterics.
The poster, Zach Carty, told Newsweek that he ended up not buying the suit because it was too small, and partly because he found a wedding speech in the jacket pocket.
In a viral post shared on Reddit on Sunday, under the username u/zachismyname89, Carty holds up the folded piece of paper that he found hidden inside the suit jacket pocket while searching for the tag.
The wedding toast is from two people named Val and Jack, which they wrote for their friend, Tony, and his wedding to his wife Ally.
The toast recounts the friends’ years at college, first jobs in New York, as well as ski trips, traveling and game nights within the friendship group.

“Someone bought, used, then returned a suit from H&M, and left their wedding toast in the pocket”, the Reddit caption says.
“I get being tight on money, but an H&M suit is like $100, at least get it dry cleaned first”.
Carty told Newsweek: “I had no idea what it had been through that night at the wedding so I didn’t want to risk getting something used and abused.
“I only stumbled upon it because I was trying to find the size tag for the suit in the pockets since they are hidden in there sometimes.
“Just thought it was funny that someone would cheap out on an already affordable H&M suit just to use it for one day and return it.”
Newsweek reached out to H&M for comment.

While used items may not appeal to all buyers, thrift stores and other second hand retailers are actually big in America. According to a report from Capital One Shopping, the U.S. secondhand market generated an estimated $53 billion in revenue in 2023 alone.
There are over 25,000 resale, consignment, and not-for-profit resale shops in the U.S., and about 16-18 percent of Americans shop at thrift stores each year. Buying from thrift stores saves shoppers an average of $1,760 per year, the report said.
The post quickly went viral on social media and it has so far received over 3,900 upvotes and 182 comments on the platform.
One user, Siempre_maria, said: “I’m pretty sure my husband left both of our wedding vows in the front pocket of his suit, but it was definitely rented.”
Lois_sanb0rn said: “Now I’m tempted to slip random terrible wedding speeches into formal wear pockets lol.”
While OkCopy4627 added: “Jack got all the good lines.”

If you have a fancy event coming up but are so over wearing dresses, don’t sleep on suits. They can oftentimes be more comfortable and daring than any old special occasion slip dress. Luckily, Milla has a handful of options that are both stunning and super versatile. Whether you have a conference, a wedding, or just want a power suit on hand for whatever pops up on your calendar, head to Milla’s site for the most stylish suits for women.
As someone who wore a jumpsuit to my high school prom, I can confidently say the following three dressy suits from Milla are unique options that might even trump the silky, floor-length dresses everyone else will be donning. If dresses are uncomfortable for you to wear or you’re after an OOTD that will stand out among the crowd, these suits for women are your answer.
For a year-round option that will match almost everything, the black suit is going to serve you well over the years. If you need a more spring- or summer-appropriate look, go lighter with the white suit. And for those yearning for a little pizzazz, the sparkly beige suit is an easy decision.
The other great thing about suits is that you can mix and match the top and bottom with each other or existing pieces in your closet. For example, you could ditch the blazer to opt for a Harry Styles-coded blouse and trouser moment. You could even ditch your suit pants to create a short skirt and blazer combo when the weather’s heating up. That’s why I’ve also included some mix-and-match options from Milla at the very end (spoiler alert: my favorite is the pink top that has incredibly beautiful volume).
Keep scrolling to discover the only three suits for women your closet needs—plus, a few more dressy tops to pair with your blazer and suit pants. And be sure to take note of the discounts on many of the pieces below.

If it were up to me, I’d pick the black suit because 1) black matches with pretty much everything, 2) it’s more versatile for a range of different occasions, and 3) you can’t go wrong with an all-black outfit. I love how the blazer has a more structured, oversized, boxy silhouette and could also see it making for a cute blazer and mini skirt moment.

Need a more unique outfit for your bridal shower or rehearsal dinner? This white suit will be sure to turn heads. However, if you’re not using it for bridal festivities, it would look gorgeous as an all-white ‘fit, a black and white look, or with pops of bold color underneath and in the accessories.

There’s no doubt this is the suit to wear to a special event, whether it’s a gala, panel, or even your birthday dinner. Every inch of the ensemble is covered in pastel beige sequins, so if you’re trying to have the shiniest, most eye-catching outfit in the room, this one’s for you.
Milla.
I don’t know who wouldn’t be drooling over this pink off-the-shoulder blouse. The draping is so intricate and beautifully done that it looks like the top is gently hanging off your body. I’m a big fan of how the model pairs it with the white suit pants (very spring/summer!), but it could look equally stunning with the black suit pants as well. Oh! And there’s a white version in case you’re going for a bridal look or just an all-white OOTD.
Milla.
No wardrobe is complete without a plain black bodysuit. This one is composed of a stretchy fabric that hugs your figure in all the right places. You could easily style it with any of the three suits on this list and look so elegant and put-together.

Slip into this white blouse and some suit pants or trousers for a Harry Styles-coded outfit. This closet mainstay is made from chiffon crepe, but what really earns it brownie points are its loose sleeves with ruffle details.
Suits fans dreaming of a reunion will get a very little something to tide them over during Super Bowl Sunday when several of the show’s former cast members – spoiler: not the big three – return for a cosmetics commercial.
Yes, cosmetics. In an unlikely grouping, cast members of the legal drama Gina Torres, Rick Hoffman and Sarah Rafferty return to a courtroom presided over by, of all people, Judge Judy. Except here she’s called Judge Beauty, and matters before the court are cosmetics.
The spot is for e.l.f. Cosmetics, which sells cruelty-free, budget-conscious makeup. The ad’s premise: Hoffman and Torres square off, Judge Judy style, to plead their cases before the court. Hoffman is accusing Torres of overspending on cosmetics (don’t think too hard about it). Rafferty plays a court reporter.
“Pricey makeup is a scam like couples therapy or boundaries,” Hoffman says. Even Judge Judy/Beauty seems biased against the overspending Torres. “You spend $92 on foundation? Don’t pee on my leg and tell me it’s raining.”
Anyone familiar with Judge Judy will recognize that by-now years-old punchline, just as they might recognize some of the jurors in the commercial, among them Meghan Trainor, sports analyst Emmanuel Acho, comedian Benito Skinner/Benny Drama, Jury Duty star Ronald Gladden and HeidiNCloset from RuPaul’s Drag Race.
The verdict: Torres is “sentenced” to use e.lf. cosmetics, much to her delight.
If the spot doesn’t have the surprise cleverness of the Super Bowl Uber Eats commercial that reunites Friends Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer, the Suits mini-reunion might no doubt amuse newfound fans of the former USA Network-turned-Netflix favorite series. Last month, Suits stars Patrick J. Adams, Gabriel Macht, and Rafferty made a funny appearance on the Golden Globes to present the Outstanding Drama Series award. (Absent from all the get-togethers has been Meghan Markle, the actress-turn-duchess.)
“There’s nothing more dramatic or anxiety-inducing than waiting all night to hear that your category is finally arrived,” Macht said on the Globes stage, prompting a deadpan reply from Adams, “Yes, that’s true. It’s hard to imagine having to wait so long to see your show get that kind of recognition.”
And Suits is still getting that late-in-arriving recognition. Check out the new commercial above.
Los Angeles might have a little rain this week, but they are fully suit-ing up. NBC has hired Victoria Mahoney as the director for a Suits spin-off pilot set in Southern California. While no cast list is confirmed yet, NBC shared that the show will follow a lawyer named Ted Black, who “reinvented himself representing the most powerful clients in Los Angeles.” However, his past comes back to haunt him and his colleagues, who “can’t help but mix their personal and professional lives.” First, the cast of Suits hosted the Golden Globes red carpet, and then it took over the Nielsen Top Ten list, coming out as the most streamed show of last year. Now, they’re coming for the rest of Hollywood. Maybe an old friend and star, Meghan Markle, can make a cameo to finally be able to say “Poppycock!”
The Office has often been the most streamed show of any particular year. That changed this time around, according to the Nielsen report. Suits has seemingly dethroned The Office as the show everyone watched in 2023, and I have thoughts—mainly, why not Parks and Recreation instead?
Every time someone tells me that they rewatch The Office time and time again but have not seen Parks and Recreation or don’t care to watch it, I have to wonder who hurt them. This time around, the report states that Suits racked up 57.7 billion minutes of viewing time in 2023, which is slightly above the record that The Office previously held. Great for Suits, a show I never finished but that I’m happy people have found it and cannot stop watching it.
I guess everyone just loves watching Steve Carell as Michael Scott, which I get! But I also think that maybe it’s time to put down “Scott’s Tots” not just for Suits but for Parks and Rec.
My issue is that every year we are subjected to people watching The Office over and over again, and … sure! That show ran for 9 seasons and was a hit at the time. But there are other shows that I just wish people would give their time to, like the joy that Parks and Recreation brought to so many of us while many refused to watch it.
Parks and Recreation started in 2009, four years after the U.S. version of The Office took over the comedy scene. For a while, they were both airing back to back on NBC, and you could experience a night of comedy. What ended up happening was a lot of people stopped tuning in, and Parks and Recreation struggled for a while with ratings. I’m here to say: You were all wrong, and Parks and Recreation is the best.
I’m sure some of you in the world are probably thinking to yourself, “Well, Rachel, aren’t you the girl with a Parks and Rec tattoo and a cat named Ben Wyatt?” The answer is yes, yes I am. But I am also a fan of the rest of The Office/Parks and Rec creator Mike Schur’s work. So the idea that only The Office ever breaks into this conversation is beyond frustrating.
Look, I get that we all have our favorites. I am someone pleading with you all to watch Parks and Recreation instead.
Focused on Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) and her work in the Pawnee, Indiana Parks Department, the show was filled with a cast of characters that both made Leslie’s job harder and helped to lift her to her best self. Genuinely one of the most inspirational shows out there, it provides a comfort in Leslie Knope that Michael Scott never had.
They realized that a character like Leslie was going to take over our hearts with her giddy optimism, and they let that shine instead of making it a bad thing. Seeing her grow, find love, lean on her friends, and try to make the world a better place is part of why I love the show so dearly. So all I am asking is that the next time you want to watch a comedy for comfort, maybe give Parks and Rec a try?
EXCLUSIVE:DB Woodside (911: Lone Star, The Night Agent) is partnering with veteran publicist Erin Kyle Osborne to launch Blue City Entertainment.
The vision for Blue City is to develop and produce projects for both film and TV, while fostering unknown writers with undiscovered stories to help them break into the entertainment business. Blue CIty plans to bring more original content to the forefront and the duo is already developing a few projects with new writers for their upcoming slate, including a documentary on grief.
The first project from Blue City Entertainment will be a script written by Woodside. It’s an African-American tale that reimagines The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mister Hyde. Woodside also plans to star in the project.
Woodside and Osborne met on the hit Netflix show Lucifer where he played Amenadiel, and she was the studio publicist overseeing the series. Both from New York, they formed a fast friendship professionally and personally and after working together for many years. They knew they had the same long-term goal in mind for their company.
Other credits for Woodside include co-starring on Suits, which set a streaming record for the most weeks at number 1 on Netflix.
Osborne was a studio publicist at Warner Bros. and most recently VP Communications for Paramount TV Studios before venturing out on her own.
WASHINGTON, December 11, 2023 (Newswire.com)
– Advanced Advocacy once again partnered with Central Union Mission to host its seventh annual Charity Suit Drive, a community initiative aimed at providing professional attire to individuals in need. This year, the effort collected over 240 suits and other lightly used men’s business apparel including shirts, pants, ties, and shoes. ZIPS Dry Cleaners also played an integral role in the success of this suit drive by providing complimentary dry cleaning services for all donated items.
“We are excited to once again partner with Central Union Mission to host this successful effort. Over the past seven years, we have provided nearly 1,500 men’s business suits to help eliminate barriers for people entering and re-entering the workforce,” said Andrew Kovalcin, Principal at Advanced Advocacy.

Beyond the core services of nutritious food and safe, clean beds, Central Union Mission offers several life-changing programs for men. The Restoration & Transformation Program helps them overcome addictions, reconcile with family, study the Bible and take responsibility for their attitudes and actions. Men can also join the Workforce Development & Education Program, which offers employment readiness training and soft skills, actual hands-on, wage-earning work in a mentored setting and finally, placement in an outside job and independent living situation.
“We are pleased to support Advanced Advocacy and Central Union Mission and honor the great work they do,” said Brett Vago, ZIPS founding owner and owner of five ZIPS locations.

It looks like USA is trying to make it 2007, by science or magic. Deadline reports that the cable network is plotting a return to its “blue sky” era of the early aughts by beefing up its original scripted programming with “light, frothy character-based procedurals” in the vein of past USA hits like Monk,Psych,White Collar, RoyalPains, and, of course, Suits.
According to Deadline, execs at USA’s parent company, NBCUniversal, sought to program more breezy procedurals after the end of the WGA strike and have already “identified a handful of ideas they are considering for development.” While there are reportedly no deals in place yet, NBCUniversal is rumored to be capping the costs for these series at a slim $2 million to $3 million per episode, with a possible reliance on streaming arm Peacock for the bulk of viewership. The goal is to begin rolling out the new slate of original programming in 2025.
The move to create more breezy procedural programming is, in part, inspired by the smashing and unexpected success of Suits, which landed on Netflix this June after nearly half a decade off the air. Suits, which starred Patrick J. Adams, Gabriel Macht, and a pre-royal-family Meghan Markle, dominated the cultural conversation during Hollywood’s hot strike summer, racking up a record-breaking nearly 4 billion minutes viewed in a single week between Netflix and Peacock.
USA’s “blue sky” era was ushered in by NBCUniversal vice chair Bonnie Hammer as a foil to the cable channel’s more gritty fair—series including The 4400 and Touching Evil. The “blue sky” series mostly focused on quirky, lovable characters in shows that were mostly shot outdoors (hence the nickname). The era began unofficially with the premiere of the San Francisco–set Monk, starring Tony Shalhoub as the notoriously OCD detective. Monk was a huge hit for the network, running for eight seasons and earning Shalhoub three Primetime Emmy Awards for best actor in a comedy series. A feature film that reunites the core Monk cast, Mr. Monk’s Last Case: A Monk Movie, premieres on Peacock on December 8.
USA was the number one cable entertainment network for a record 14 years running during this era. In 2015, the channel took a turn toward more darker fare with the success of Mr. Robot, starring future Oscar winner Rami Malek, and the premieres of series like The Sinner, Shooter, and the long-running Queen of the South. In recent years, USA’s original-series program has dwindled significantly; as of 2023, the only original scripted series on the network is Syfy’s Chucky. But who knows? Zane, a Suits spin-off starring Meghan’s paralegal turned lawyer, could be joining that lineup sooner than we think.
No Hard Feelings” landed on Netflix on Oct. 22, four months after its theatrical debut, and immediately took hold of the Nielsen Streaming Top 10. The Jennifer Lawrence movie was the most-streamed title during the week of Oct. 23-29 with a healthy 1.1 billion minutes watched.
The second-most-streamed title of the week was “Suits.” The long-concluded USA Network drama had a historic run on the Nielsen Streaming Top 10 after its Netflix debut in June, racking up 15 first place finishes, 12 of which were consecutive as “Virgin River” topped the chart for a one-week stint before “Suits” returned. After three more wins, Netflix’s “Fall of the House of Usher” took first place for two weeks in a row, though “Suits” still managed to clock in at over 1 billion minutes watched.
But during the Oct. 23-29 viewing window, its 19th week streaming on Netflix, the procedural finally fell below that mark — barely, with 997 million minutes watched. “Fall of the House of Usher” dropped to third place this week with 944 million minutes watched, down from 1.5 billion minutes watched the week before.
With 854 million minutes watched, “Grey’s Anatomy” took fourth place, continuing a recent string of solid streaming viewership for the ABC series. It was followed by the ever-successful children’s series “Bluey,” which was watched for 771 million minutes during this window.
After last week debuting at No. 9, Netflix’s “Bodies” rose to sixth place in its first full week of availability, when it was watched for 768 million minutes.
“Gilmore Girls” continued its fall resurgence on the chart, showing in seventh place with 751 million minutes. Ninth place also went to an acquired title: “NCIS” with 709 million minutes watched.
Peacock’s “Five Nights at Freddy’s” movie debuted at No. 8 with 740 million minutes watched in its first four days of availability, while 10th place went to Netflix docuseries “Life on Our Planet,” which was watched for 676 million minutes in its first five days of availability on Netflix.

Hey, remember me? I’m the girl who, right before the 2022 Game Awards, said Xbox head Phil Spencer dresses like my dad when he goes on a Sunday morning bagel run. (We squashed the beef at Summer Game Fest, don’t worry.) Though I was being playful and pointed with my fashion critiques, I wasn’t just speaking to the style (or lack thereof) on display at gaming’s biggest night, but how it’s indicative of a larger identity crisis within the industry. On nights like The Game Awards, this multi-billion-dollar industry tries its hardest to ape Hollywood, with a glitzy production, A-list actors, and, bizarrely, men in sweatshirts.
It begs the question: Who are we? Are we all wealthy industry leaders wearing denim jackets in an attempt to look more approachable, more pedestrian? Or are we wannabe fashionistas from Long Island leaning too hard into living in Brooklyn? Or schleppy gamers who throw on whatever is on top of their clothes chair in the morning? The answer is simple: We’re all of it. This is an increasingly diverse industry (despite its inability to name women), and the more that diversity is reflected in the people who attend these events, the better the fashion will be by default—because we’ll get more variety, more personality, and more cultural backgrounds on display.
This year, I’ll be attending The Game Awards (no, you can’t see my outfit yet). Since I was so passionate about fashion last year, and now I’ll be there in person, I feel it is my civic duty to provide unsolicited advice on how to look good for gaming’s Oscars.
Let me be clear: You don’t have to spend a lot of money to look good. There are tons of ways to ball out on a budget, from renting the runway, to borrowing from friends or family, to combing through thrift stores for long-lost treasures (which is how we found my fiance a 1970s-era Yves Saint Laurent military trench for $150 in Italy). Whether you’re attending The Game Awards or you just have a semi-formal event in your future, here are some tips to ensure you don’t draw the gaze of my fashionable Eye of Sauron.
Also, I’m offering personalized fashion advice, so reach out in the comments, via e-mail, or my DMs.

Following that Twitter-imploding leg moment, though, Pascal has been largely out of the public eye in recent months. Which is why, upon his reemergence on SNL this past weekend, the 48-year-old star brought out his menswear fastball to remind everyone he’s still at his blush-inducing best. Popping up for a quick cameo during host Bad Bunny’s monologue, Pascal sported one of the most iconic ensembles in all of fashion—a breezy pleated Issey Miyake suit—only revved up via a clash of electric hues and an alluring lack of a shirt. Combined with Bad Bunny’s own oversized double-breasted number, it was about as compelling a case for non-traditional tailoring as you’re ever likely to see.
You would think a guy as well-dressed as Spider-Man might quit while he’s ahead, but no: If there’s one thing we know about the web-spinner, it’s that he loves nothing more than changing costumes as frequently and fabulously as a Super Bowl halftime show.

Five years after the debut of Insomniac’s first Spider-Man game, the default Spider-Man costume (a higher-tech, armor-textured variation on the classic comic book design) has become an institution in itself. For their sequel, Insomniac has upgraded the look and technology of the costume ever so slightly, giving it a brighter, slimmer, and more streamlined appearance.
Amazing and Amazing 2 Suit
Both of these costumes are adapted from the suits Andrew Garfield wore in the two Amazing Spider-Man movies. While the first is a fairly dramatic departure from the standard Spidey style that leans heavily into texturing and rubbery realism, its later replacement hews much closer to the look and feel of Peter’s usual threads.
Anti-Ock Suit
A rerun from the previous game, the Anti-Ock suit is specially designed (and aptly named) to combat Doctor Octopus, whose tentacles Peter realizes can be controlled by the neural interface he himself designed. In other words, you can shut down his arms, and slap the Doc silly.
Anti-Venom Suit
Designed by artist John Romita, Jr. and created by writer Dan Slott for Marvel Comics in 2008, Anti-Venom is what happens when an alien symbiote receives the touch of Mr. Negative, turning its colors in reverse, and giving it appropriately toxic effects against other symbiote enemies. In the original comics, it was OG Venom Eddie Brock who took on the new identity; here, it’s Peter himself who receives the dubious gift.
Arachknight Suit
A mashup of Spider-Man and the slightly-unhinged-multiple-identity-hero Moon Knight, the Arachknight was a goofy product of the 2018 Infinity Warp comic event, which imagined a variety of offbeat alternate universes that played Madlibs with Marvel characters. The design and ethos, by Spider-artist Humberto Ramos, has been ported over to the game this time around.
Black and Gold Suit
First appearing in the game Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, this variation on the Stark suit is a bulkier, clunker, and more fully equipped tech suit for Peter.
Classic Black Suit/Black Suit
Designed by artist Mike Zeck way back in 1984’s Secret Wars comic book event, this look has become a staple for the Spider-Man mythos, being the distinctive look of the alien symbiote that becomes Peter’s erstwhile replacement outfit. In Spider-Man 2, what begins as (apparently) a simple suit of black threads gradually takes on more powerful and alarming implications depending on the jerkiness of Peter’s behavior, which activates his latent symbiote tendencies.
Classic Suit
An icon. A legend. A Steve Ditko original. Accept no substitutes.
Homemade Suit
Also appearing in the previous Insomniac game, this sweatshirt-based ensemble is modeled on the initial costume worn by Tom Holland in the MCU’s Captain America: Civil War and Spider-Man: Homecoming. As the name implies, it’s a thrown-together dry run Peter creates before he gets access to his real-deal Spider-Man outfit.
Hybrid Suit

Another MCU-inspired design, this one hails from 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home. Built using nanites from Doc Ock’s tentacles, it’s among the higher-tech variations of the various Peter costumes.
Into the Spider-Verse Noir Suit
Image: Insomniac Games/Sony Entertainment
Based initially on Marco Djurdjevic’s design for the comics, this is the suit of the alternate-reality Spider-Man who lives in a shadowed world of dingy streets, femmes fatale, and mysteries within mysteries. The particular design seen here is the sleeker, hatted variation used in 2018’s Into the Spider-Verse animated film.
Iron Spider Suit/Iron Spider Armor Suit
Designed by artist and Marvel editor-in-chief Joe Quesada for the 2007 Civil War comic series, the Iron Spider was Peter’s very first Stark-designed and weaponized tech suit, which he wore before running afoul of Stark and his cronies in the aforementioned series. The costume has since been seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and various cartoon adaptations, before appearing in both of the Insomniac games as an unlockable suit.
Kumo Suit
The Japanese word for “spider,” this suit has an appropriately ninja-esque vibe, and is original to this Insomniac sequel.
Last Hunt Suit
Here we have Peter cosplaying as his nemesis Kraven the Hunter, whose Steve Ditko-designed suit is refashioned into gold-plated, leather-pants-ed, and fur-stole-ed fabulousness. Sadly, laser nipples are not included.
Life Story Suit
The 2019 comic series Spider-Man: Life Story imagined the career of Spider-Man as if it were told in real-time, with Peter aging and progressing through the decades since his debut in 1962. This suit, one of several appearing in that mini, was designed especially for space-themed adventures, which explains the astronaut headgear.
New Blue Suit
It’s new. It’s blue. It’s got a spider emblem in a tiny little circle on the chest. What more does anyone need?
New Red and Blue Suit
Obviously modeled closely on the classic design, this variation sports a shinier and more textured look, and has a spider-emblem reminiscent of the MCU design worn in the earlier Tom Holland films.
Saving Lives Suit
With its purple highlights and angular eyes, this suit has a look reminiscent of the John Romita-designed Prowler costume, which first made its debut in the comics way back in 1969.
Scarlet III Suit
A comic-inspired costume, this was actually the second Scarlet Spider outfit worn by spider-clone Ben Reilly. Its debut in 2017 proved so unpopular with fans that it was rapidly phased out and replaced with…
Scarlet Spider Suit
…this bad boy. A homespun outfit fashioned out of a hoodie, this extremely ’90s bit of comic ridiculousness was likely, in turn, the inspiration for the MCU’s Homemade Suit, discussed above.
Secret Wars: Civil War Suit
The 2015 Secret Wars comic event saw the villain Dr. Doom create a reality called Battleworld, where various permutations of the Marvel Universe existed side by side, most of them a riff on a past storyline. One such warzone saw the Marvel heroes in a perpetual state of Tony Stark-fueled destruction, and this Leinil Francis Yu-designed Spider-Man suit saw its debut there.
Spider-Man 2099 Suit
Here we have the suit of Miguel O’Hara, the surly Spider-Man of the year 2099, who first appeared in 1993’s Spider-Man 2099 in a costume designed by Rick Leonardi. The costume’s distinctive arm spikes and retractable spider-claws reflect the kind of edgy attitude for which O’Hara himself was known.
Spider-Punk Suit
This comic-inspired suit was the work of artist Olivier Coipel, who designed the British punk rock Spider-Man for 2015’s Spider-Verse event. A variation of the look recently appeared in animated form in this year’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse film.
Stealth Suit
This black, be-shadowed stalking outfit is actually inspired by the original, trench-coat-free version of the Spider-Man: Noir costume from the comics. It appeared previously as a free suit in Insomniac’s first Spider-Man game, and makes a return to the gamerverse here.
Superior Suit
Image: Insomniac Games/Sony Entertainment
The distinctive, black-highlighted outfit of Otto Octavius, worn first during the period in the comics when he forcibly inhabited the body of the seemingly dead Peter Parker. Among other features, Otto equipped his costume with his characteristic metal tentacles, not depicted here.
Upgraded Suit/Upgraded Classic Suit
These costumes are adapted from those worn by Tom Holland in the MCU’s Spider-Man films. The classic blue version appeared as the hero’s Stark-designed outfit in 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming, while the black variation replaced it beginning with Spider-Man: Far From Home two years later.
Webbed Suit/Webbed Black Suit
These are the costumes worn by Toby Maguire in the Sam Raimi-directed film trilogy that launched Spidey’s big-screen career in 2002. A more realistically textured version of the standard suit, with raised, metallic web lines instead of sewn-in fabric, it comes in both standard and symbiote varieties.
The Ultimate Looks of Miles Morales
Upgraded Suit
Hewing very close to the classic design, this is Miles’ default costume for most of Spider-Man 2. It makes its debut in video games or anywhere else for the first time here.
10th Anniversary Suit
In 2021, a decade after Miles Morales debuted in the comics, Marvel commissioned artist Chase Conley to design a new suit for the character. Distinctive for its turtlenecked sweatshirt, dangling drawstring cords, and neon pink highlights, it didn’t last long before giving way to Miles’ older and more classic look.
Into the Spider-Verse Suit/Across the Spider-Verse Suit
Modeled closely on his comic book design, these versions of Miles’ suit were worn in the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse movie, and its 2023 sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse movie. Unlike its comic counterpart, it’s a more streamlined outfit that removes the red web lines, and replaces the stylized spider-emblem with a graffiti-inspired circular design.
Advanced Tech Suit
Inspired by the design of Peter’s Iron Spider suit, but with the armored fabric of the Anti-Ock Suit, this is Miles’ version of the high-tech battle outfits Peter sometimes sports. It previously appeared in the original Marvel’s Spider-Man game.
Agent of SHIELD Suit
In 2014, following the events of the Cataclysm crossover, the comic book Miles Morales enlisted as an agent of super-spy agency SHIELD (Strategic Homeland Acronym Invention Agency, true believer!). Wearing a version of their blue military-esque uniforms but with a Spider-Man flavor to hide his secret ID, this is a variation on the costume Miles briefly trotted out.
Best There Is Suit
Sometimes Spider-Man likes to take himself seriously. Other times, he likes to cosplay as Wolverine in a zipper hoodie and Doc Martens. This is an instance of the latter.
Bodega Cat Suit
The breakout character of 2020’s Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales was, of course, Bodega Cat, whose legacy remains now and forever untarnished. This suit, unlocked after completing the Cat’s Pyjamas story campaign in that game, returns for an encore appearance here.
Boricua Suit
This Puerto Rican flag-inspired costume appears in honor of Miles’ identity as a proud Nuyorican.
Brooklyn 2099 Suit
Resembling both the Miguel O’Hara 2099 suit, and the Miles Morales variation seen in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, this version features baggy pants and narrower red eyes, which are (as we all know) the hallmarks of NYC’s greatest borough in the far-off ‘90s of this century.
City Sounds Suit
This fedora-topped, sweatered outfit resembles the hottest looks of the 1920s Jazz Age. It’s Miles Morales for the Louis Armstrong set.
Classic Suit
Designed by artist Sara Pichelli in 2011, Miles’ default costume evokes the classic Peter Park look without replicating it entirely, replacing its blue highlights with red-on-black webbing. In the decade since then, it’s become as much a classic as the Ditko original that inspired it.
Crimson Cowl Suit
An homage to the comics villain the Crimson Cowl, who appeared in the Thunderbolts series with a Scarlet-Witch-esque designed by artist Mark Bagley, the look also pays homage to the hooded Scarlet Spider design (also by Bagley) mentioned above. It previously appeared in the Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales game in 2020.
Dark Ages Suit
Marvel Comics’ 2021 Dark Ages crossover imagined one of those dystopian futures of which comic creators are always so fond, in which all the heroes’ hopes and dreams have gone sour, and only the most tough and brutal remain standing. Miles’ costume for that series, designed by artist Iban Coello, is a symbiote-covered bit of leathery madness.
Evolved Suit
With its visible hair, sweet sneakers, and bright blue highlights, this new look is surprisingly appealing for both superhero action and default casual wear.
Family Business Suit
Another armored suit strongly reminiscent of the Iron Spider design, whose influence continues to make itself felt throughout the Insomniac universe.
Forever Suit
This new costume designed for Spider-Man 2 has a Wakanda-inflected design, complete with panther ears and a pointed nose. Cats and spiders living together? Now I’ve seen everything.
Great Responsibility Suit
Given as a gift to Miles by Peter Parker to acknowledge the younger hero’s risk-taking and courage to save innocent lives, this suit previously appeared in the Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales game, where its Parker-resembling look preceded the classic Miles costume.
Homemade Suit
As with Peter’s sweatshirt-based equivalent, this was Miles’ very first costume from his video game debut, fashioned at home a the outset of his superhero career.
Into the Spider-Verse Spider-Boy Suit
Miles’s first costume in the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse movie was a cobbled-up concoction made from a store-bought Spider-Man outfit, sneakers, and a towel cape. A fine Halloween idea if I ever saw one.
King in Black Suit
Continuing from 2018’s comic book Absolute Carnage event, the King in Black crossover revolves around an invasion of Earth led by Knull, the titular King in Black, and dark god of the symbiotes. The symbiote suit worn by Miles for that series was the spiky horror-show with its distinctive forehead spiral, seen here.
Life Story Suit
As with the Peter Parker version seen above, this is a space-fitted astronaut suit modeled for the game from the Spider-Man: Life Story series, in Miles Morales colors this time around.
Miles Morales 2020 Suit
Returning from the Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales game, this update of the classic Miles suit is, apparently, fit for a kid of the current decade. Because what says the 2020s if not large Walkman headphones and rolled-up jacket sleeves?
Miles Morales 2099
Another variation on the surprisingly influential Spider-Man 2099 design, this one uses Miguel O’Hara’s emblem on a hooded black bodysuit for a futuristic but youthful feel.
Most Dangerous Game Suit
Miles’ own variation on Kraven the Hunter’s absurd but glorious style is the thing to wear when you’re seeking the only prey worth stalking: Spider-Man.
Programmable Matter Suit
Returning from the previous Miles Morales game, this glowing, armor-paneled design is strongly inspired by the various Iron Man suits, whose Stark tech led to many of the Spider-Man costumes on display here.
Purple Reign Suit
A prince pun! But also inspired by the purple color scheme of the Prowler, of course, who gifted it to Miles in the previous Spider-Man: Miles Morales game. It comes with both claw-tipped fingers and a utility belt, making it a versatile costume for the cat burglar in all of us.
Shadow-Spider Suit
Designed by comic artist Sean Izaakse for the Champions series in 2018, this was the costume of an alternate-reality Miles Morales, whose dark path to avenge the death of Peter Parker follows a very different course from the Miles we know. It makes its video game debut in Spider-Man 2.
Smoke and Mirrors Suit
It’s Miles by way of the villain Mysterio – specifically the version of that nemesis who appeared, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, in the Spider-Man: Far From Home film. It’s green, purple, and has a glass headpiece so you can pull off all the magic tricks your heart might desire.
Sportswear Suit
Miles’ very first suit in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, it features not only a hoodie, but a hoodie and a puffy jacket. Perfect for those Brooklyn winters.
STRIKE Suit
Sometimes your mission calls for a popped collar and oversized gauntlets, and nothing else will do. The STRIKE Suit provides.
The End Suit
Adapted from the 2020 comic Miles Morales: The End, this suit (designed by Damion Scott) was worn by an aged and battered Miles Morales as he made a last stand for humankind in the Brooklyn of the future. While the hooded sweatshirt evokes his youthful past, black camo pants speak to the worst of all possible things to come.
TRACK Suit
What’s white, black, red, and absolutely stylish? This newly debuted look for Miles Morales, baby.
John Mulaney loves a suit. The comedian retired his on-stage hoodies and flannels sometime around 2010 and has never looked back. Since then, it’s been one well-tailored ensemble after another, from his stand-up specials and Saturday Night Live monologues to late-night guest appearances and beyond. And throughout the years, the cut of Mulaney’s suits has stayed as trim and neat as a pin—even in 2023, a year where the big suit has reigned supreme, he’s stuck to his slim-cut guns.
Mulaney leaving The Late Show in his slick black suit—no tie necessary.
Jason Howard/Bauer-Griffin
You’d think a celebrity with access to professional stylists and designer threads might be tempted to dip their toes in the slouchy suit waters, but not Mulaney. On The Late Show last week, he appeared in an immaculate black two-piece. It looked like could’ve worn at any point in the last 10 years—sharp and slim but not suffocating. However, there were a few subtle signals that Mulaney’s sartorial habits have evolved. “So…didn’t shave. No tie. You’ve changed,” quipped Stephen Colbert. “This is not the John Mulaney I remember.” It’s an astute observation from the host. Yes, Mulaney mostly looked and dressed as he had many times before, but the details were different.
Despite streaming services doing their best to create original series that will become the next big thing, network TV stations kind of already have the formula down. Suits, which initially ran on USA Network and is now available on Netflix and Peacock, has now spent the most consecutive weeks at #1 on Nielsen’s chart of most-streamed shows. It’s held that position for the last 12 weeks. Before that, it was tied with Ozark, which had held the #1 spot for an impressive 11 weeks.
The show takes place at a New York City law firm, and follows Mike Ross. While Ross is a masterful lawyer thanks to his photographic memory, he technically dropped out of college and hasn’t completed law school. As a result, he shouldn’t technically be allowed to practice law in any kind of official capacity. Despite that, his law firm is one of the best in the city. Luckily, he also has a few friends at the firm who know his secret and are willing to protect him.
The show ran for nine seasons on USA Network, with that ninth season being its final one. It makes sense that the show is so popular on streaming, because it has a pretty solid critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s sitting at 91 percent there, while on Metacritic, the score is 65 percent. It’s part of a group of four other shows that managed to rake in more than one billion minutes of streaming time on the Nielsen most-watched chart. The others were Virgin River (1.92 billion minutes of watch time) One Piece (1.39 billion minutes), The Little Mermaid (1.37 billion) and SWAT.

Within the Suitsiverse, Adams played Mike Ross, a man who pretended to be an attorney but who actually was not. Markle played Rachel Zane, a paralegal with arguably greater qualifications and skills than Ross, but who was largely relegated to the role of girlfriend (to Ross), her greater ambitions subsumed by the romantic plotline. Funny how that happens.
But with Suits again—or, perhaps, for the first time—part of the public conversation and Markle a constant figure in the global discourse, you can see why Adams thought this week might be a good one to remember the good times for all to see. The actor dropped multiple Instagram posts of photos from behind the Suits scenes, including “previously unseen” pictures of Markle, as People notes.
“This well is deeeep,” Adams wrote in a caption to one of the posts. “Let’s get serious. Seriously,” he captioned another post, all of which contained numerous images from the Suits set.
But if you want to see any of those photos, you’re out of luck. Adams has since deleted them from his account, and instead posted an apology after realizing the posts were in violation of the ongoing Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) strike.
As part of the strike, actors are not allowed to “promote struck work or struck companies on social media,” a restriction that Adams said—in a since-expired Instagram story—he was “gently and swiftly course corrected” about by his followers.
“The last couple of days I foolishly and thoughtlessly let a trip down Suits memory lane distract me from the very real and ongoing fight everyone in @sagaftra continues to wage in its effort to win our membership realistic 21st-century compensation and protections,” Adams wrote in the post.
“It was an embarrassing oversight for which I’m incredibly sorry,” he wrote. “I look forward to continuing the fight in the days and weeks ahead.”
This isn’t the first time Adams’s Instagram posts have gotten him in trouble. In 2018, he posted a photo of a woman asleep in an airport, and accused her of “body shaming” after she allegedly said a photo of him at Markle’s wedding to Prince Harry was unflattering. After his followers accused him of bullying the woman, he deleted the woman’s picture, explaining as he did that he “took it down, not because I felt the woman was right or fair or undeserving of being called out but because any sense of being a bully or lashing out felt wrong.”
“Now, if you see the original post on any media outlet, just know that they are choosing to take a relatively small indiscretion and make it worse,” Adams wrote at the time. “Believe pretty much nothing you read in magazines. Good or bad. The machinery runs on misfortune and oversimplification.”
Major throwback. On Aug. 17, Jessica Alba stepped out in New York City wearing a show-stopping power suit constructed entirely out of medium-wash denim. The chic Canadian tuxedo included a corset style top and ultra high-waisted flare jeans that helped create a bodycon look. Alba added to the silhouette with a matching blazer featuring a colorful lining you might have missed at first glance, and exaggerated shoulder pads reminiscent of the ’80s.
Styled by renowned celebrity stylist Erin Walsh, Alba completed her nostalgic outfit with a white bag, pointed-toe heels, and a delicate butterfly ring from Jacquie Aiche, looking effortlessly cool in a pair of tinted shades. Although clearly drawing inspiration from iconic all-denim looks of the past (Britney and Justin, we’re looking at you), Alba’s version was definitely a more modern take on the trend.
All-denim everything may have had its moment in the ’80s and ’90s, but recently, more and more celebrities have made the case for a Canadian tuxedo revival. Keke Palmer, for example, put her own spin on the trend with a button-down jean jumpsuit, dancing to the “Barbie Girl” remix in a July TikTok. Saweetie also wore full-on denim with a Y2K-inspired minidress and coordinating jacket at the “Bel-Air” season two premiere. So despite its previously polarizing history, Hollywood has made it clear that the trend is here to stay.
Read on to see how Alba brought the look into the 21st century with a Canadian tuxedo of her own.

There are perfectly good celebrity style moments, and then there are the looks that really stick with you, the ones you try desperately to recreate at home. In ‘Great Outfits in Fashion History,’ Fashionista editors are revisiting their all-time favorite lewks.
History is divided between two timelines: before Harry Styles’s Gucci contract and after Harry Styles’s Gucci contract.
The year is 2015. Zayn Malik just left One Direction and broke my 14-year-old heart into a million little pieces. But one strategic, life-altering fashion moment restored my faith and hope in the future: Harry Styles’s black and white floral Gucci suit on the American Music Awards red carpet.
Not only did this awaken the fashion lover in me, it changed the world, arguably.
In contrast with his fellow band members’ traditional black and grey suits and ties, Styles stuck out like a sore thumb in the now-infamous black and white set, featuring a flared silhouette. And though some may say it wasn’t that wild of a fashion choice, the Harry Lambert-styled look did draw some criticism for its pattern and even sparked memes shared by fellow carpet attendee Justin Bieber. Basically, this suit’s impact on a generation of young people — not to mention the music and fashion scenes — is undeniable.

There’s no question that when former Creative Director Alessandro Michele first named Styles as one of his muses at Gucci, it altered the trajectory of pop culture for years to come. Nearly a decade later, Styles continues to basically exclusively wear Michele’s Gucci after forging a close friendship with the designer.
In light of Michele’s departure from Gucci, Harry Lambert posted a photo tribute to the suit that in many ways helped spearhead Styles’ fashion-icon status.
What comes next for Michele is still unknown, but whatever it may be, there’s no doubt in my mind Harry will be following closely behind him.
If you’re also still thinking about Styles’ vintage-inspired floral pattern seven years later and want to give statement botanics a try for yourself, take a look at the gallery below.
